Couple to Control: Joint Initial Noise Design in Diffusion Models

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2605.11311v1 Announce Type: new Diffusion models typically generate image batches from independent Gaussian initial noises. We argue that this independence assumption is only one choice within a broader class of valid joint noise designs. Instead, one can specify a coupling of the initial noises: each noise remains marginally standard Gaussian, so the pretrained diffusion model receives the same single-sample input distribution, while the dependence across samples is chosen by design.
